I really like the Hot Rod Flatz paints. Real easy to use. I would suggest that if you are going for an "usual" color (other than the normal black or grays) that you buy a quart from them to check the color. Even their chip chart isn't much help. I bought a gallon of Carnival Red, but can't use it because it looks lavender next to my Hot Rod red wheels. On it's own it is an awesome color . . . just not what I expected from the color chips.

SCOTI · 06-15-2007, 07:08 PM

Yeah, I figured the color 'chips' may not be the same in person vs. the monitor. I might just do the quart thing & shoot a test panel.

Is it close to this color? If not, I'm wanting to dulpicate this original color but in its 'current' state of aging. Any suggestions?

I would do the Champagne Gold Metallic

one of the 67-72 guys correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that hood was on the 67 only. Not sure what year your's is.

The laid back hoods were on 67-68 trucks. I believe 70 was when they went vertical.

Jwill41 · 08-17-2007, 11:46 PM

vertical in 69

I'm using the Dupont Hot Rod Black on my blazer. I really like it. Here's a pic of a blazer with the flat black.
